Such a quiet and unique location off the Transfagarasan road - which is a great place to see some European Brown Bears. Staff were lovely and friendly (especially the dogs) - the room was on the smaller side, but super comfortable and well designed - the bathroom especially! We also had a lovely balcony overlooking the forest.

We had a great experience at Valea cu pesti. The location and view from the rooms is magnificent, right on the transfagarasan highway and in front of the Vidraru dam. The room and facilities, including pool, sauna and jacuzzi - all available to use at no extra cost- were very clean. Room had a hairdryer and bedsheets were of very good quality and clean. Staff were kind and very helpful, they offered travelling tips and we even found a bottle of local wine in our room on our arrival!

Great food in restaurants, very pleasant staff, clean and comfortable
It was the perfect location for a night on the Transfăgărășan. The hotel is a 15 minute drive away from the highest point of the road and Bâlea Lake. Our room had a view on a beautifull waterfall, which is a very relaxing sight to wake up too. Room had everything we needed and a good shower. Breakfast was simple but good, and the restaurant was decent and has a good variery of local dishes. Would recommend the Papanași and a shot of Pálinka for the cold mountain weather.
Overall great stay and would love to come back!
The hotel has an amazing location, right under the waterfall on the Transgarafasan road. If you plan to stay on the road for a longer period of time and explore the Transfagarasan a little more, this hotel is the right choice for you. It is right in the middle of the road, so everything is quite close. The hotel itself is rather modest and the furniture and facilities are quite old, if you are only looking for a place to crash, it definitely does the work.
The location of this hotel, just by the lake, is unique. So, driving off-road for 20' is definitely worth it. The hotel has not been renovated from the 80s, so it provides an authentic experience of Romania in the past. Breakfast was great, and this actually makes the staying a good value for money. When you have breakfast by the lake, you forget the quality of the matrices or the other facilities that are quite old.
The location is perfect and we haven’t seen any other hotels with a similar location. You can walk a bit around and if you want you’re in 10 minutes at the Balea Lake by car (don’t forget to hike up at least to Lake Capra and preferably one of the summits around). The food in the restaurant (dinner and breakfast) were pretty good as well, basic but fine.
Perfect location - in the middle of Tranfagashan highway. We did the most difficult part of it in the first day, had a very pleasant stop in this hotel and then came back to Bucharest the next day. The room and the food were good. The hotel is located in a wonderful place, so the view is spectacular.
Very nice stay in a nice place in the middle of Transfagarasan Road, we recommand do those who don't expect a "hotel quality" but are open to experience a stay in nice, cozy, warm place, the hosts live in the ground floor, the rooms for the guests are in 1st floor,
Best possible "soundtrack" from the streams surrounding the hotel. Very good breakfast, nice staff but not really proactive. Food at the restaurant was good but nothing to write home about.
Great hotel on Transfagarasan road. 20 mins from Balea Lac. Née the hotel there is a small mountain river. The kids appreciated the playground for them. The restaurant is very good.
Very spacious suite with two bedrooms. All was clean, very good beds. Wonderful view to the mountains.
Very good restaurant at the Hotel Siesta, next to Casa Miorita.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The location was excellent. There is a hidden waterfall crossing the hotel garden walking a little bit uno the mountains.
